N&W decals UP colors

[NW Modeling List]

I have a slide from Dec 1969 shot in Roanoke by my Uncle, Harry Borsum.  I can get a picture made if you need one.  I can check the rest of his slide collection to see if there are any other shots of other UP paint cars lettered the same way, if you want me to.  I just happened to have that one handy.

Rodney,
 
Do you have a pic of that car? The decals are probably already in production. I may have to print a patch set. If necessary I would think modelers could get the Pullman from a UP set but I'm not sure.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard

Richard,
In looking over your proof, I think you need to include "PULLMAN" in red along with small "N&W" red lettering for use with at least National Colors to be historical correct.

Re: ShellScale HO134 N&W red lettering for UP "City of St. Louis" pool, there is a photo of a 44 seat coach lettered N&W in Kratville's UP Steamliners book page 519.  The car is 1838 and according to my 1966 copy of the passenger train equipment register, it may be one of a kind for N&W/Wabash.  Wabash had such a car numbered 1431 and I believe N&W 1838 is the same car.  Walthers is making this car in HO as part of their UP series.  1838 was of aluminum and steel construction, so it was built by ACF to UP plans.  1834-1837 were all steel and were former Wabash 1427-1430 and seated 48 passengers.

 
 
On another note, I am releasing our newest set, HO134, N134 and O134 in about 6 weeks. This set is for the N&W cars that were painted in Union Pacific colors. HO Scale proof is attached.
 
Thanks,
